It's not actually really what you wanted/requested, but with LilyPond .79
you'll be able to do:
%% almost.ly
\score{
\context Staff <
\time 4/4;
\context Voice=one \partcombine Voice
\context Thread=one \notes\relative c'' {
a4 c4.()g8 a4 |
g4 e' g()f |
b, a c2
}
\context Thread=two \notes\relative c'' {
g4 e4.d8 c4 |
g'4 c, e f |
d2 a
}
>
\paper{
linewidth=140.\mm;
\translator {
\VoiceContext
soloADue = ##f
}
}
}
[Apart from the slurs, this looks identical to your slurs.jpeg]
Double slurs will probably not be an option for some time to come,
but the part combiner will set the stem directions are set automagically.
Greetings,
Jan.
